Where's a good place to go with the wife for vacation ?
 

I'm thinking about giving my wife a vacation for a christmas present, but I'm not sure where to go. I know that a lot of you travel, so I figured that I'd ask you :)

I was thinking about going to the Islands like the Bahamas, but was also considering something here in the States if there's a nice resort. We're both shoppers, so we'd like to have some shopping in the area, I'm not sure how the Islands are when it comes to that.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciate it. If you have any links, that'd be better yet :)

Boracay Island In the Philippines... Its one of the best beaches in the world.

The Cook Islands are a great unknown getaway but if shopping is your thing...Stick to the Caribbean. St Thomas or Grand Cayman. :2 cents:

Behind the fridge, it gets dirty back there

Greece!

Go for a 14day indian ocean cruise :Graucho
for the shopping just hit local K-Mart :glugglug

Thanks Aaron, St. Thomas is looking good :thumbsup

Thanks to the rest of you for the rest of your suggestions.

We thought about a cruise, but don't know if we'd wanna be stuck on a boat. I suppose that you hit a lot of ports, but we'd like to be on land :)

We also tried behind the fridge, but it wasn't much fun, ha ha ha.

I'll also dig into Boracay Island and Greece to see what they have to offer.

I like Cancun.

What he said. All the good shopping you could want and great hotels. Best of all really decent night life.

the wife and I went here last year, was pretty cool

very "hippy"ish....but very cool cause it is almost like the people and staff there are a big family....you meet so many cool people and the food is SO_FUCKING_GOOD....

and oh yeah, there is also a resort style place just 500 feet from Kailuum if you need air conditioning and shit....same people own it..so even if you want to stay at Kailuum you are allowed to go up to the resort and use their pool and bars and just put it on your room tab

and it is all about 30 minutes from cancun
